WEEKLY PHOTO – JUNE 10 – PAINT WITH LIGHT? From Roger Miller, Photographer; Image Publishing, Ltd. and The Workshops in Digital Photography I got this beautiful silk and porcelain doll while I was working on a book on Tokyo in 1986. Those were the “dark ages” as my daughter reminds me. I had a great time and learned a lot about Japan and Tokyo creating the Tokyo book. ( No, the Tokyo book did not sell very well.) This amazing portrait of the doll with modulations of light was done with – A FLASHLIGHT?? What?? Yes this is a rather simple technique once you understand it. To do this with fixed lights in the studio would be rather complicated. Jeffrey Wolk and I will be having some Paint with Light Workshops. Think about learning this. See our website at thephotoworkshops/workshop for times and how to sign up for these workshops. Tech Data: Photographed November 12, 2012, camera was a Nikon D700, ISO 125, Tamron f 3.5 lens 28.0 to 300.0 mm, exposure 30 seconds at f18.0 the white balance was custom. This was a good exposure and could have gone to 60 seconds to have more time to light the doll. Hope all your dolls look beautiful and have a great week! Your questions and comments are welcome!!
